I HAVE addressed the facts on how the book was written. I called attention to the exact sequence in which the book was written. Running the sequence backwards, we have printed first edition, printer's manuscript, dictated manuscript, Joseph speaking the words he translated from the plates, and plates, whose existence I painstakingly showed were examined by eight witnesses who turned over all of the leaves filled with engraved characters except for the sealed portion. That is the indication of their words.
I further told the truth that none of the witnesses denied their printed testimonies, thus establishing the sequence of engraved plates, orally translating the engravings, dictated manuscript, printer's manuscipt, and first printing of a book that has been translated into many languages, fulfilling the witnesses words "Be it known unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, unto whom this work shall come," which of course mirrors one of the stated puposes of the Book of Mormon: "to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God, manifesting Himself unto all nations."
I provided a chronological time line John. You provided a mythology, not a single date. I showed where smith got caught in his lie in D&C 10 and had to later change the date of the 'revelation' in a later edition of D&C. Smith lied to you and every other mormon believer.
Your witnesses have impeached themselves and their credibility by their later actions. Contrary to this mythology of yours, later testimonies from these same witnesses tell us that they never saw with their physical eyes the plates, nor did they physically touch them. You witnesses speak out of both sides of their mouths John.
Further, you fail to address the historically documented fact that smith used the same method 'translating' the 'plates' that he did bilking people out their money as a treasure hunter. He just found it more profitable to play the part of a prophet.
